Category: a year of jewellery

Here’s another fascinating installment of “Daily Jewellery:” Day 34: Gold dust necklace. Ephemeral yet valuable. Day 35: insect brooch made from found objects. Day 36: Memory neckpiece. Made from my childhood. Day 37: ‘Connection’ necklace where the clasp becomes the pendant. Made from brass found objects and 9ct gold. Advertisements

I didn’t feel like waiting until next week to share some more Daily Jewellery. So here’s day 32 and 33. They’re both pre-made (in other words, I made them the year before last) but I’ve never shared them on any social media, so they still count…

Apologies for posting this later than I meant to: technology problems. I thought technology was supposed to make things simpler! Sometimes I think that maybe the problem is with me…but then I realise that no, it’s definitely technology’s fault. But enough ranting. Let’s get to the interesting stuff.

Oops…I seem to be a little behind in my updates for my Year of Jewellery. But late is better than never I suppose, so here is last week’s Daily Jewellery: I’ll update you with pictures of this week’s jewellery on Friday or Monday (I haven’t decided yet).

For those of you forlornly wondering where my daily posts have gone, I thought I’d let you know that I’ve decided on a change: instead of posting my daily jewellery daily, I’m going to be posting it only once or twice a week. That gives those who receive an email every time I post an…

I’ve finally learnt that planning what I’m going to make before I start making it makes things a whole lot easier. Doing that has meant that I was able to create something a little more complex today, namely this copper ring with a rotatable cog. The tiny person on it is there because he was…

Turns out there was another sheep hiding in the ‘Sheep and Misc’ box who didn’t get to be part of the bracelet yesterday. Poor sheep. But he got the opportunity to menace some tiny people on a necklace today.

It’s a little late, but here is day 3’s jewel: I returned to the bubbles of day 1 to create this ring made from silver and touchable bubbles (I admit that I didn’t make the silver part today, but it still counts). A beautiful and transient ring, this is not one that you can wear…

Clocks. They’re so useful, beautiful, and annoying (or at least when they’re ticking and you’re trying sleep). Since I’m planning to start making use of more moving parts in my jewellery, I’ve been playing with some bits of clocks. Today’s jewellery of the day is this clock-hand creation.

Well, the first day of the year is almost over and here’s my first item of jewellery. It’s made from wool and bubbles. I can honestly say that this is the best jewellery piece I’ve made this year. Maybe tomorrow’s will be even better.
